Actually, I didn't call it a "pleasure." I called it a "thrill." Somewhat like a cardiac stress test
.
It looks darn good, even with the silver spinners.
Don't baby the throttles too much. Like any over-powered tri-gear twin, your Widow's heart and soul are the engines, and once you get those babies goin', all that rudder/aileron/elevator stuff won't mean as much. Power will pull you off the ground.
My Ziroli-61 is way over-powered with G-62's, but on takeoff roll, once I'm sure the engines are spooling up about the same, I go to full throttle. My philosophy is I can correct for a lot of imperfections easier than for insufficient power.
Besides, it's a rush!
I can tell you appreciate all this last-minute, unsolicited advice, so I'll offer one more tiny bit: be careful about what kind of shades you wear, especially if it's not a perfect sunny day. At a distance, this black plane will silhouette in an
instant, making it hard to tell if you need to give R or L to level the wings.
